Sample Preparation7.1 If necessary, reduce the sample by riffling or other suitable means to obtain a test sample that will not overload the sieves,and dry at 110 C 6 5 C to constan

16、t weight. 110 C 6 5 C to constant mass. Constant mass is obtained when an additional hourdrying at 110 C 6 5 C does not cause a change greater than 0.05 % mass.NOTE 1The size of the sample is very important in sieve analysis because the number of particles on a sieve surface affects the probability

17、of anyone particle passing through the sieve at a given time. The more particles there are on a sieve, the greater probability that any one particle is hinderedfrom getting into a position to pass through the opening. Avoid overloading the sieves.7.2 Screen the test sample from 7.1 on a No. 4 (4.75-

18、mm) sieve. Weigh the material retained on the No. 4 sieve. Record mass.8. Preparation of Apparatus8.1 Clean coarse sieves up to No. 80 (180 m) with a soft brass wire brush and clean the finer sieves with a fiber brush. Cleanby brushing the under side of the sieves. Gently tap the brass frame to aid

19、in freeing trapped particles.At times, it may be necessaryto wash the sieves in a warm soap and water solution. After washing, dry the sieves thoroughly. If wet screening is to be used,nest selected special deep-frame sieves after cleaning as described.NOTE 2As an alternative, ultrasonic cleaning of

20、 sieves is recommended.9. Standardization of Sieves9.1 Calibrate the sieves by use of calibrated glass spheres. Standard glass spheres are available through the National Instituteof Standards and Technology (NIST) and other international standardization organizations.9.2 Use of the microscopic metho

21、d in the appendix of Specification E11 is also permissible to assure that the sieves meetspecification.10. Procedure10.1 Dry Screening:10.1.1 For Samples Containing Less than 10 % 10 % Passing a No. 200 (75-m) SieveNest the selected sieves and fit a panbelow the bottom sieve. Place the material whic

22、h passed the No. 4 (4.75-mm) sieve from 7.2, in the top sieve. Cover and clampthe nested sieves in the mechanical shaker and shake for the time interval specified in 10.1.3.10.1.2 For Samples Containing More than 10 % 10 % Passing a No. 200 (75-m) SieveWash the material which passed theNo. 4 (4.75-m

23、m) sieve from 7.2 on a No. 200 (75-m) sieve until the solution passing through the sieve is clear (see 10.2). Savethe material passing the sieve. Dry the sieve fractions in accordance with 10.2.4.2 and process the retained fraction in accordancewith 10.1.1.10.1.3 Length of Screening Time or End Poin

24、tThe screening time or end point is when additional periods of shaking fail tochange the results on any sieve used in the test by more than 0.3 %. The screening time may vary from 3 min to 30 min or moredepending on the type of material. Determine the exact time for each material experimentally.10.1

25、.4 WeighingRemove the clamp and cover. Transfer the contents of each sieve to a tared pan, tapping and brushing thesieves to remove any lodged particles. Record the weightmass of each sieve fraction.10.1.4.1 Weigh and record the mass of the material washed on a No. 200 (75-m) sieve, as described in

26、10.1.2 and submittedto wet screening as described in 10.2, the same as in the other sieves.10.1.5 CalculationSum the weightsmasses of each of the sieve fractions. The total shall be within 1 % of the weightmass ofthe original test sample or the analysis must be repeated from 7.1 with another test sa

27、mple. The weightmass of the test sample usedfor calculation is the total of the sieve fractions. Calculate the percent retained on each sieve as follows:Material retained,%5Wr/Wt! 3100 (1)where:Wr = mass retained on each sieve, andWt = total mass of all sieve fractions.Calculate the percent passing

28、the finest sieve as follows:Material passing,%5Wp/Wt! 3100 (2)E276 132where:Wp = mass passing the finest sieve, retained on a pan or filter, andWt = total mass of all sieve fractions.Obtain the percent cumulative by adding each percent retained on each sieve as the series progresses.10.1.6 Report:10

29、.1.6.1 Report the following data: sieve size, weightmass retained on or passing through sieve, percent retained on sieve, andpercent cumulative.10.1.6.2 Present the data of a screen analysis graphically as a cumulative direct plot or a cumulative logarithmic plot. From theplots, the percentages rema

30、ining on any set of openings other than those of the testing sieves used, can be found by interpolationand in this way the redistribution of the same material by any assumed set of openings can be determined.10.2 Wet Screening:10.2.1 Wet screening can be carried out on a single sieve by hand washing

31、 or through use of a mechanical shaker. Similarly,a nest of screens can be used preferably through use of a specially adapted mechanical shaker.10.2.2 Washing of a sample on a single sieve causes the finest particles to be removed quickly from the larger or coarserparticles. It also has the advantag

32、e of breaking up aggregates of fine particles and removing the slime coatings from coarseparticles, making a product more amenable to dry sieve analysis. The liquid used for washing is generally water, but for specificcases some other nonreacting liquid can be used. Dry the retained fraction and ret

33、urn to the sieve or nest of sieves for dry screeningas described in 10.1.10.2.3 For more accuracy or reproducibility of tests, use a controlled volume of liquid. To accomplish the results required, aset volume of liquid cannot be determined to meet all conditions, but through experimentation for spe

34、cific cases, such requirementscan be accomplished.10.2.4 Single Screen Testing:10.2.4.1 Place the material which passed the No. 4 (4.75-mm) sieve from 7.2 in a deep-frame sieve. Wash the material on thescreen in accordance with 10.2. Continue washing until the liquid passing the sieve is clear.10.2.

35、4.2 DryingWash the material on the sieve into a drying pan. Dry in an oven at 110 C 6 5 C. Recover the material fromthe retained washings by using a filter press or by evaporation, then dry in an oven at 110 C 6 5 C.10.2.4.3 Weighing, Calculation, and ReportTransfer the contents of the sieve to a ta

36、red pan as described in 10.1.4 and weigh.Calculate and report the data as described in 10.1.5 and 10.1.6.10.2.5 Multiple Screen Testing:10.2.5.1 Nest the selected deep-frame sieves and fit a pan containing a drain pipe to the bottom sieve. Place the material passingthe No. 4 (4.75-mm) sieve from 7.2

37、 into the top sieve. Place a sieve cover equipped with two inlet pipes on the top sieve and clampthe nested sieves in the mechanical shaker. Connect the inlet pipe to the liquid supply and the drain pipe to a collection container.Start the mechanical shaker and turn on the liquid supply. Continue th

38、e washing until the discharge liquid is clear. Turn off theliquid supply and allow the shaker to continue operation for a few minutes.10.2.5.2 Remove the sieves from the shaker, and dry the sieve fractions in accordance with 10.2.4.2.10.2.5.3 Weighing, Calculation, and ReportTransfer the contents of

39、 the sieves to tared pans as described in 10.1.4 and weigh.Calculate and report the data as described in 10.1.5 and 10.1.6.11. Precision and Bias11.1 PrecisionIt is generally agreed that errors in screening arise from the way in which screening is done. Selection of thesample loading of the sieves,

40、sieves themselves, and the final weighing, all influence the reproducibility or accuracy of screening.Some particle wear occurs, but for the No. 4 and finer sieves, this wear is usually insignificant. Brittleness, hardness, weight ofcharge, and the mode of operation of the mechanical shaker influenc

41、e slightly the results of the test. It is agreed, however, thatnormally any variations due to these factors would not effectively alter the results of the test. The size and shape of the particlessignificantly influence the probability of passing when sizes of aperture and particle are close. Screen

42、ing time is important, but itcannot be said that a specific time of screening should be used for all types of materials. End point of time of screening for differentmaterials is to be established by experimentation.11.2 If the sample is known to contain naturally occurring ferromagnetic material, it

43、 shall be demagnetized in a 60-Hz field ofnot less than 300 Oe.11.3 It is not practicable to specify the precision of the procedure in this test method because the precision is related to thequantity of sample tested, the distribution of particles and the shape of the particles, which vary for each

44、type of material tested.11.4 BiasNo information on the accuracy of this test method is known. The accuracy of this test method as measured bycalibration of sieves using standard reference materials, is not directly transferable to metal-bearing ores and related materials.12.
